Realising that I'd never listened to a full Sonic Youth album before I have been going through everything chronologically and finished Daydream Nation today. This is the best way i have come up with of spent my time in ages.
But now I've had enough of that for one day, so I'm listening to Th' Faith Healers. They have a 10 minute long song called "Slag". I really hope they play it when I'm drunk.

Is anyone else listening to bands on the line up they don't know enough about? Found anything good?

a place to bury strangers and the pains of being pure at heart are both fantastic live, shoegazy stuff taken into full on noise (former) and catchy pop (the latter) territories.

josh t pearson you should see if you havent already. somewhere between neil young and the devil. however he's played the same set for the past five fucking years, so if you have seen him there might be other things on.

yo la tengo are lovely alt rock. they're output has changed a lot over the course of time though.

Swervedriver- Bit rubbish really, but it might just be the record I've got. Great comedy value though as I keep calling them Skewdriver by mistake.

Yo La Tengo- Like alot. Looking forward to them.

Sonic Youth- Alright, don't see what the fuss is about. I'll definitely watch them though.

The Horrors- Surprisingly good.

De La Soul- Worth watching but not a huge fan.

Basically, I'm properly familiar with My Bloody Valentine and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. I'm either going to go on a wonderful journey of discovery at NBC or I'm going to have to hope there's an air hockey table there.
